If the kids like them, have at it. String bikinis are a game for other people; the strings would just disappear into the body that my kids have forged, which I do not prefer. (In fact, said kids saw a picture of the younger, more interesting person I was before kids, and they did not like the leaner look on me, AT ALL.…

So are all these unusual colored lobsters a result of a random genetic glitch, or are these genetics that can be passed down to offspring?  I mean, if it were the latter, what is to stop an aquarium from adopting a few and starting a breeding system (assuming they have the expertise?)  

Will was so critical of her and called her fat before, so I’m guessing she can’t win either way.  It’s gotta be tough, living like that, and having to hold it all in.

This is pretty much it. The current generations of “young” royals just had the misfortune of being born after the deference to the institution disappeared in the media and the invention of social media. The foibles of royals who are Millenial and younger are more well documented and stuck in the consciousness of their…

In the northeast of the US, in a 1200 Sq Ft house, with 4 people, 2 working from home, oil heat/water, our electric bill was over $800/month in June-Aug last summer, and about $350/month the rest of the year.  If someone’s in an expensive area with an old or inefficient house with lots of electronics, the payoff could…

Naw, they must have bought the insurance.  In for a penny, in for a pound.

I don’t get a side of shame, with any of the groups I donate to, though. The Catholic church and the charity case Catholic schooling I was forced into as a child has caused me much trauma and therapy as an adult. They use psychological manipulation and emotional abuse as a way of controlling people, in a way that even…

But you can believe that the Bishop’s Fund calls me directly and frequently, chiding me for my lack of support.

It’s a Gap brand.  All you have to do is search for coupon codes online, get a couple of reward points from a sister company, and suddenly you have one of their $130 dresses for $26.  Literally nothing from the group of Gap, Banana, Athleta, or Old Navy should ever be purchased for more than 40% of the normal price.

It’s been pulled and deactivated.

McConnell and the Republicans are already in “fuck Biden and the Democrats” mode. They are doing whatever they can to give themselves the bare amount of cover to accusations of malfeasance towards Americans and the economy, while still doing everything in their power to ensure things go south once Biden is inaugurated.…

Squash and racquetball were big with the Boomer yuppies in the 80's, and these are the people who are driving pickleball in my town today.

Agreed! I’m can’t wait to see the robust telling of these stories. A season per Bridgerton should give them ample time to do world building, use the source material of each book, and give the characters time to become well developed!  

They occasionally do a breakdown of their readership - they write for their primary audience: US residents.
Also, their sources do show who the warnings are targeted at.

I’ve tried explaining how Clinton is problematic to my Clinton-aged FIL... and he doesn’t get it. The world and country keep evolving, we know better and do better, and Bill is still stuck in the world of the 80s and 90s that brought him success. He never changed his behavior, never improved his positions, never…

Perfect is the enemy of good... Meanwhile, the incremental legislative and judicial wins the Republicans have made since the early 80s have eaten so much progress and steered the country back to what would have been considered the Right’s policies of the 20s/30s.

This needs a succinct response. “What a twat.” ought to do it. 

This is the best argument that the dude is a simpleton. You don’t go with a good-old-boy like this when you’re part of a lynching that has been busted. You hire a big city lawyer that has more to recommend them than just “knowing the prosecution and the judge from the club.”

The oldest Gex Xers, because many of us weren’t coming onto the market for another 12-15 years. It still wasn’t great then, we were being asked to fetch coffee for the Boomers, underutilizing our shiney new degrees, but at least at that point, we had jobs.

I may have given an audible squee when I read this. My son refuses to listen to the OG cast recording anymore, because I can’t stop myself from singing. (History was one of my majors in college, with a concentration in the American Revolution period, and the people of this era were flawed but so fascinating. I felt…
